But that is how life is....our garbage thoughts, and the garbage thoughts that we've let others put into our little, precious minds....starts cluttering up the place, and soon, we have more garbage that, sweet room for thoughts of our dreams and beauty in our minds!
Time to get out the dumpsters, trash bags, and boxes, and load up all those hopeless thoughts, the harsh words you've heard from others, the trash thoughts of "I can't do-it-ness", "I'm never going to find someone to love", "I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life", "I don't have what it takes", "I don't look how I wish I could look", "Nothing ever works out for me"....
NOPE! NO! NO MAS!!!...all that is trash talk...and it's goin where it belongs....GARBAGE TOWN!!!

it is going to be ok....
everything is going to be ok....
things I don't like & things that make me tell myself "everything is ok":
packing up my house
moving......staring at all my belongings...and not wanting, knowing, what to put where.....ha ha ha
but sometimes it's great to move on...it doesn't matter if you're moving to a smaller house, or a smaller job, or something in life that seems new scary, or different...
I like newness, and change...and even if it feels scary...going and doing things that are scary, or new, or different...those things can be the most exciting and brave...and wonderful!
I don't like moving...I've done it a lot, and many times...from different states....to just across cities.
And I'm going to make my new little home, enchanted and lovely, and wonderful, as soon as I unpack all my treasures...hee hee hee
So I will have a whole new "background" to show you in my next videos! And some exciting adventure that I'm going to take you on.......
I've been packing and cleaning all day...and my mom will be over bright and early to help me again....so off to bed I go...sweetest of dreams......huge love.....kandee-the-moving-company

how to be happy:
1. don't get food poisoning..ha ha ha (just kidding)
2. wear a big pink poofy-woofy tutu skirt (....again...this may not be comfortable for everyone to wear...but it would be fun to see someone go to work in an office like this! hee hee hee)-i got my tutu and Polka Dots & Moonbeams in LA, my shoes are form Vans, and the shirt I cut up...you can make one too, I'll post the shirt cutting vid-tastic, at the bottom of this bloggy...
3. but headin' back to "for real" town...I read something the other day that was so pow-pow-powerful for my little mind and heart...
Has anyone hurt you or offended you?
I can hear the mental "yes-es" from here!
The article talked about the how to be truly free and happy by..and if you are holding any anger or unforgiveness towards someone...
you can't be happy with that locked inside you!
And the funny thing is, when you go around, holding all that hatred in your heart, it starts spilling out in other areas...it's like keeping this moldy wrotten, anger in your heart, and eventually it starts spreading it's stink-o stench to the rest of your body.
EXAMPLE: I have several friends that hate their dads...they can't stand them for whatever reasons, abandonment, abuse, neglect, they left, they cheated on their moms...just never being there...
They hate and unforgiveness they keep alive inside them, slowly eats at some potentially "wonderful" part of them!
I have had people in my life, who have gone out of their way to do things to try to ruin my life, hurt me, make up lies and gossip, scare me, threaten me, people that have been abusive to me...some of these people were people that were close to me...some I don't even know...
I could go around with this anger in my heart saying: "No way, look what they did to me!"...
but why should I go around letting them ruin my life. I could be walking around with all this yuck-anger, effecting me..while they are off thinking nothing of it! I would be ruining my happiness because of them...and they don't even care....really who is being more miserable!?!
I have forgiven everyone...even those that have done horrible things to me. And the funny thing is: people will bring up certain things like, "oh mannnnn! I hate that jerk! I can't believe they'd do that to you!!!!!"....
And in my heart I just feel peace, I think, "yeah, that wasn't so nice or good, but I feel sorry for them that that's how they are. And I don't have time in my "happy-world" to let them bother me. They didn't get a free pass to come into my happiness and ruin it!" ha ha ha When you forgive someone, it's like you trade in all that hurt, for joy and happiness again. Say this: I will forgive everyone...and when I do, I am moving out that hurt and anger, and making room for more love and joy! There's no room in our hearts for hate or hurt.
DO IT!!!! When you do, it feels like a big U-Haul trucked filled with crap, has been lifted off your heart!
God will handle them....you watch! No one gets away with being mean, abusive, hurtful, gossipy...God says, "vengeance is mine"...in other words....
"it's ok sweetheart, you go ahead and just be happy....Papa's gonna deal with these people...don't you worry your pretty little head!"....
Let's redecorate our hearts today with the beauty of forgiveness and love...no room for those old ugly posters of hate, hurt, and heartache! You are too beautiful, too wonderful, and too precious to have any of that in your heart!
huge love and a t-shirt video! ha ha ha
may our hearts spill over with love and joy today!!
DAILY LOVE MISSION (should you choose to except it!)
1. tell someone something great about them (cute shirt, pretty eyes, nice smile, love your hair)

Do you realize how important you are to someone, and how important you are going to be?!?

You don't NEED to do anything to feel good about yourself....or do anything to deserve happiness...happiness is waiting for you to release it, right there waiting in your heart!

Your best days are just waiting for you! They really are!
Live with excitement, that if you're not where you want to be, thank God, that life keeps moving forward, and sometimes if it looks like we're going backwards-
it's only because God is pulling the catapult backwards...so that we will launch even faster towards where we are supposed to be!
I love you...you are great and amazing....and today we will live it amazingly!
Smile more, tell people have a great day more, think about your future and your dreams...and imagine me giving you a huge hug and saying...."you can do it! you are awesome!!!!"
big smile and huge love, kandee

why I love balloons.....
a little helium can lift not just a balloon....but from the wondering eyes of little kids...to older couples holding hands.....as I walked down the street in New York carrying all these balloons...you see the smiles growing on people's faces....smiled were lifted...when that happens, hope gets lifted....and hopefully your dreams will get lifted as well...
I read this quote today and loved it...
There is no challenge too great for those who have the will and heart to make it happen...
A bunch of times, something that I was going after seemed "too hard", mildly "impossible, or just frustrating because I couldn't see how it would ever happen...
and make you want to give up....but I never did!
When I moved to Hollywood to pursue make-up...things would be very frustrating, I had to work as a waitress, I worked in a Salon for a day (I hated it!), I would work as an extra on tv shows and movies (you make hardly any money and sit around waiting all day, and you usually get stuck talking to some weirdo for like 8 hours!). I would get stuck in traffic coming home from a make-up job, and I would have to pay extra fees to my sons' preschool, and the fees would be more than I made at my job.
Or a babysitter would cancel on me when I had to work my shift at the restaurant, and the list of frustrations would go on and on.....
I never gave up....and soon things started getting better, and it made me stronger and work harder for what I wanted to do! It made me value every effort I had to put into it, and appreciate every opportunity even more!
No matter how awful you feel....
what awful, discouraging things people tell you
how much hope you feel you've lost...
how much money you feel that you don't have....
or how hard or scary you think it might be...
when you power through all of that "yucky" stuff...and you knock down every wall that gets put in front of you...you will know that in your heart....you have that fight in you, that won't let anything (not even your own self-doubt) stop you!
Let your heart pick you up when your mind feels frustrated and wants to give in...
And sometimes at the end of the day remind yourself:
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying I will try again tomorrow...
and you can rest your tired mind, have some sweet dreams (maybe even about the future that you want)...and wake up with a fresh new day, that is just waiting to be lived by you!
huge love, and may it feel like helium is lifting your heart and your spirits, higher than a runaway balloon, kandee

when things are going wrong and you're feeling sad...
it really does help to count all your blessings, think about all the great things you have in life to be thankful for...
we're alive...we have shelter, food, water to drink....is just to start...
the more we focus on the good things in our lives...and celebrate the small blessings...celebrate that we are alive, healthy...we can do whatever we put our minds to...
nothing can stop us form go after what we have in our hearts to do!
Today let's put on our Happy Ninja Hearts.....we are going to stop all things negative, discouraging, even if they are coming from our own minds...
Let's think about everything good in our lives, all the things that we have hope for...all of our dreams...
think about the good things and not one of your worries....think about happiness, that the sun is out, that we are healthy and able to go after our dreams...
share some love and encouragement with others.....
think about wonderful things all day...I'll do it too!
or maybe we'll be negative-ninja's...we will fight off all negative things....
and be super happy's!!!
i love you all...so much!!! And all your precious letters and cards, and goodies you send me, are filled with so much love, I just want to pour it out onto you too!!!!
have the happiest day, kandee
old pale face...
things I don't like....
having a face that is more pale than my body...ha ha ha
and since I have a little skin cancer scare last year...(it runs in my family...great! On my mom's Danish side....)...and I used to be a "sun-sleeper"...in high school I would get a towel and fall asleep in the sun listening to music for about an hour...
Yes I was super tan, but not so great for my poor ol' skin....if only had my little hands on some self tanner back then, it's easy, and some of them make you darker (and NOT orange) than the sun would.
I have tried a lot of them, from druggystore brands to the "you-better-have-a-fat-wallet" kinds...
and even a certain celebrity endorsed one, that was HORRIBLE! Talk about looking orange...I looked like a Oompa Loompa from Willy Wonka!
Everyday I put self-tanner on my face...and when the body needs to look tan, wearing a skirt....or arm or shoulder revealing tank-top...I fake-tan-it-up!
Here's a linky-dink for the SUN Labs self-tanner I use in the video (there's a deal right now, the ULTRA DARK SET, what I have, is normally like $59, but you can get it for $39 right now)
CLICK HERE TO CHECK IT OUT
this is the same self-tanner that they use in celebrity tanning salons...
and being darker makes you look skinner.....hee hee hee, I love that! I'll take baths in this stuff then! ha ha ha
check back later....I have some fun videos to post....
today the sun is shining...
our hearts are ready to love...
our face is ready to give off smiles...
and most of all, our hearts are ready to receive love too...
the more you love, the more you feel loved...
huge love from my heart to yours, kandee

On a SPECIAL note about an angel, Cara Lee:
I want to send all my love to Cara Lee's family and friends, she was a beautiful girl inside and out, she was born, june 23 1989 passed away on feb 14 2010, she was only 20, and said I was her idol (I feel so honored to hear that!)...and her life was taken by a drunk driver on Valentine's day...my heart goes out to all those who are missing her right now! I bet God is rejoicing that he has one of his angels back in heaven! I'm sure her smile and all her work with kids, left a lasting impression on a lot of hearts! And her love will live on inside everyone's heart's, that love her.....she will always have a place in my heart...
Reading the email about Cara, made me realize just how much we need to treasure each day, and realize that today, no matter how many things seem to "clutter" our day with "un-fun" or hard things...that we need see the big picture...
we are alive..we can love, we can feel hugs, we can tell people we love them (it's not a bad thing..people are so scared to say they love people..when love is the greatest, most needed things in the world!)...and life is not just about the hard things that comes our way....but it is a gift and a chance to face all the hardships in life with an attitude that says, I'm gonna get through this, I'm not going to let this ruin me, I'm gonna be stronger and wiser when I get through this.
I hope we all live with more thankfulness today..rejoice in today, let your heart smile more...and feel more...and my happiness swirl through your day...may we celebrate today, in Cara's honor!
I love you all...huge love, kandee

I know this may be a $$ stretch for some of you. But here's the deal. They manufacture in the US and they are based in Hollywood. They use commercial grade, photography-studio quality stuff. (any other things you want add here about why you like it).
And here's a little math for you:
1. Regular price $269
2. With the Kandee discount: $242.10 (including shipping, and did you see the cute box?) NOTE: Cali girls will have to pay sales tax of course.
3. Now divide that over one year (and you will use it EVERYDAY - its like 66 CENTS A DAY.
Finally, this is a Girl Power company. I'm all about supporting other women.

I am off to go buy some last minute birthday goodies...
the sun is shining, our hearts are beating, and love is blooming in our hearts...
do something fun this weekend...something to treat your heart to a little "happy break"...
remember, no matter how hard our lives may seem....we are alive! As long as our hearts are beating..we can share love, lift someone's spirits, even if we are feeling down, sometimes the best thing to do is smile at someone, cheer them up....the love and cheer will boomerang back to our hearts too!
On a SPECIAL note about an angel, Cara Lee:
I want to send all my love to Cara Lee's family and friends, she was a beautiful girl inside and out, she was born, june 23 1989 passed away on feb 14 2010, she was only 20, and said I was her idol (I feel so honored to hear that!)...and her life was taken by a drunk driver on Valentine's day...my heart goes out to all those who are missing her right now! I bet God is rejoicing that he has one of his angels back in heaven! I'm sure her smile and all her work with kids, left a lasting impression on a lot of hearts! And her love will live on inside everyone's heart's, that love her.....she will always have a place in my heart...
Reading the email about Cara, made me realize just how much we need to treasure each day, and realize that today, no matter how many things seem to "clutter" our day with "un-fun" or hard things...that we need see the big picture...
we are alive..we can love, we can feel hugs, we can tell people we love them (it's not a bad thing..people are so scared to say they love people..when love is the greatest, most needed things in the world!)...and life is not just about the hard things that comes our way....but it is a gift and a chance to face all the hardships in life with an attitude that says, I'm gonna get through this, I'm not going to let this ruin me, I'm gonna be stronger and wiser when I get through this.
I hope we all live with more thankfulness today..rejoice in today, let your heart smile more...and feel more...and my happiness swirl through your day...may we celebrate today, in Cara's honor!
I love you all...huge love, kandee
a happy escape
I have stared at either, my computer, some room in my house...or in my closet...and felt a we bit overwhelmed this week....and I'm sure I'm not alone in this "oh-I-don't-even-know-where-to-begin-staring-at-things-look"...
and somehow in my little swirly-ness of "oh-goodness-ness"...I have realized how important it is to have your "therapy escapes"....
My therapy escapes this week have been:
making videos...I enjoy making videos for you guys so much...it feels like I am getting to spend time with a friend as I talk to you all through the camera...
I have even done some "computer-window-shopping"...yes surf-shopping the interweb...
places I escaped to:
www.ikea.com (i dreamed of furniture I'd love to buy, and someday decorating my dream house...
I am trying to go through everything in my house...
so, perhaps I can have an "online garage sale of all my stuff that has to go"...since I won't be able to have a real garage sale....it'll be a "garage-ebay sale"..ha ha ha
I think it is important that we have a "happiness escape" everyday....whether it's a few minutes of looking at some fun things on the computer...
walking through our favorite store and just looking at all the lovely things, and taking deep breathes of yummy fragrances...
flipping through your favorite magazine...
and maybe even busting out the big guns...GOING TO SEE A MOVIE...
escaping with a friend or loved one to entertain your tastebuds and your heart with a tasty meal and companionship
...whatever it is that lights your "happiness-candles"...do it....
if you like to sing, dance to music on the radio, plunk out a melody on your favorite instrument...whatever it is...make sure you make time to do that "happy-starting" thing everyday...
when I was younger, I loved getting ready...I loved picking out my outfit, standing in front of my dresser, with my drawer of make-up, and carefully applying my "face decorations".....I'd sit and imagine my life in the future....I had a fake looking wedding ring, and I would imagine myself being interviewed for something successful I was doing, and talking about my wonderful husband...and I would think that all the guys who had hurt me...would be watching my "interview"...and regret every mean thing they had done..ha ha ha ha (my teenage mind at work)...I would imagine myself as an artsy, vintage-clothe-wearing, girl who had moved to NY to pursue her dreams...I loved to escape into my "dream-futures"....
If you are having a less-than-terrific day....escape into your "happy-making-zone"...and watch your day feel like it got a vacation and a recharge!
I have to go to a bunch of things now, that are less than-desirable...ha ha ha....but, this, this typing has been a little sunny spot of my day...I hope it shines some sunny-ness on each one of you!
huge happiness and love to each one of your hearts....kandee
When your life is exploding...
this one one of my favy things I saw at the MOMA (museum of modern art) in New York...I loved the bright white, dishes that were in pristine condition....well, right before they got shattered! The explosion of broken dishes and spoons, forks, and butter knifes..flying outward in an explosive, bursting...and this bright beautiful lights...glowing so beautifully from the very heart of the piece....was stunning!
I thought about this as I read something this morning...
sometimes the most beautiful, peaceful moments....are ones that are found in the middle of "life's explosions"....
It really isn't a sign of peace, when everything is always perfect and calm....
I think real peace, is when our emotions do feel like little bombs are going off, our happiness is exploding right before our eyes, by circumstances...but while everything feels like chaos and craziness.....we are the bright beautiful, glowing light of peace, while all the "dishes" are blasting apart around us.
I have been in some "dish breaking" moments in my life..but the most amazing times, were when I felt peace in my heart, even when it didn't seem like I should....
If it feels like your world is falling apart, that "dishes" and/or emotions are exploding all around you...
this is the time, when a storm of troubles may be "hurricaning" around you, but you can be safely covered in a big umbrella of safety and peace...the big arms of God can come down and wrap you and your heart up, in a safe place for your mind and heart to rest.
Our lives will never be free from every trouble or pain...after all, this isn't called heaven...ha ha ha
But we can rest in the fact that
I've been in some situations where I should have been incredibly upset, crying, very un-peaceful, but in the middle of it, I wasn't....I had peace in my heart, a peace that doesn't make sense to people....sometimes it helps if we stop thinking about how hard our situation is....and focus in the peace that we can have...our hope of getting out of the "trouble-time"....and not worrying one bit about what's going on. There isn't one situation..where freaking out or worrying about something is going to help!this is one of my favorite verses....(not to get all Bible-y on you...but some of the greatest quotes, even the song "Turn! Turn! Turn! from the Byrds is straight up verses from the Bible!)
Do not let your hearts be troubled, and don't let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]
—John 14:27
I hope that whatever you are going through...no that each one of us is dealing with "broken dishes" right now..and if not right now, we probably just got through a "dish exploding experience"...we are all in this together! We can all band together and with our encouraging and loving words!
I am sending big hugs...and hopefully some new "mental sunglasses" that will allow you to see the beautiful glowing light, coming from the center of the "exploding dishes"...remember, don't focus on the "pieces of dishes" flying around...but on the soft and beautiful light of peace shing on your heart!
huge love all my precious hearts.....typed with love and peace for your day...kandee
I love this song...it makes my want to dance my cares away...and feel sunshine on my heart....I want to sit on the beach and hear the ocean....see palm trees dancing in the breeze...and my heart glowing....
the face in the mirror....
sometimes the person we see in the mirror...isn't who we wish was staring back at us....we wish we were different....had different features...
I know my nose has always bothered me...I don't like that it looks like a pig nose to me...but I do like that I can breathe through it just fine...
I don't like the bump on my lip...where my tooth went through my lip when I was little..but I like that my lip is still there...(i won't bore you with the rest of the things that bother me..ha ha ha)
sometimes we wish our personalities were different, or improved in areas...
I used to be incredibly shy...I never felt comfortable enough to speak up....
thank God, that has changed...ha ha ha ha
and again...I won't bother you with all the things that I want to improve...ha ha ha..we could be here a while! ha ha ha
The thing is, we can hold back all the great things that can be in our future, but not believing in ourselves. If we don't believe we are good enough..we will never even step out to do the things we'd like to!
Please don't let yourself, our your lack of confidence...hold you back. If we keep telling ourselves we aren't good enough...we'll never make it! We have to be our first line of encouragement...our own team of cheerleaders, our one-man (unless we have anyone else to cheer us on) team of "you-can-do-it-ness"!
Things I want you to do today:
Tell yourself...
"I am beautiful"
"I was born with incredible talent"
"I am going to do great things in this life I've been given"
"I am going to go after my dreams, because God gave them to me for a reason"
"There is only one person like me in the world, and I am awesome!"
"I love my body, and I'm going to take care of it and feed it healthy food"
"It doesn't matter what people say"
"I am loved"
"My thoughts, style, and personality, are special, unique, and I'm not changing to be like anybody else"
"I will stop telling myself I CAN'T.....and only tell myself, I CAN, and I WILL"
......I will go after my dreams
......I will dress in clothes that make me happy, no matter what anyone else thinks!
......today I will choose to love myself, and do something to make me happy today...
......today I will take some time to think about my dreams, my future, and day-dream about what my "dream" life would be...so I know what I need to go after!
When you visualize something..the style clothes you want to wear, the career you want to have, the home you want to live in...the person you want to be....
it gives you a target or goal...then you just need to build the road to get there!
You build the road by your choices...
decide to buy a book or magazine, or research online about the dream career you want...
Make small steps to build the road to your dreams, by making one small choice...
decide to look into schools, design a business card for yourself, start learning on-line...start just with thinking about it and encouraging yourself!
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind."
Today be the you that dances in your heart...
the you that says funny things in your head, but doesn't say them because you think someone will think it's dumb.....they won't...those are the things that make people fall in love with you!
Be the you, that dresses how you want...because you like it and it makes you feel confident and like the real you!
Be the you, that says, "yes I am an (actress, artist, singer, dancer, designer, painter, photographer...teacher...) even if you've never made a dollar from it! Just because you make money at something doesn't mean that's what you are....you are what you are by doing....not by dollars!
I believe in you! You can do whatever you put your thoughts to! Be bold, brave, and do things that you are scared of, and soon, they won't scare you at all!
this was typed with love and so much encouragement and thoughts of your heart ans dreams!
huge love and hugs....kandee

Why wedding ring is essential
Most of the people are not know complete thing about affordable wedding ring and it worn on ring finger and it must symbol of married person and it is depending on where you live it would be wear in left or right both hands. In European countries Poland, Bulgaria, Germany, Norway and few other countries are wear it on right hand and many western countries are wear it on left hand. In hand ring finger are having vein which is passes through the heart and it is called vein of love. When once believe this finger is having vein then the tradition of wearing of ring is started.Designer look for wedding dress
Wedding dress is main attraction of wedding ceremony and therefore wedding dress is designed according bride and groom personality. Now many fashion designers are engage to design modern and stylish wedding dress and at present lots of wedding dresses are easily available in the market. Some designer design wedding dress remembers season favor and actually bride sees eyes attractive and beautiful in well designed dress.
Some designer use light color on the contrary some use light or silver and since bride and groom both to be main attraction of wedding day therefore their each and every thing should be special. Wedding have especial importance in life as well as it is starting of new life and so we should try to make it especial as for as possible and wedding dress designed by prominent designer is first thing of it and wedding dresses for different seasons are designed differently so I can say that gives a nice look to bride. glitter in the air
I clicked on a video of Pink performing at the 2010 Grammy's....I watched as she sauntered out wearing a white hooded dress...thinking nothing too much....and as she dropped the white cloak to reveal a sheer-ish leotard...grabbed a hold of some trapeze-artist style silk fabric....hung upside down singing...and ending it all by hanging from the silk....woweeee....
I searched the words to Pink's "Glitter in the Air" song....and tears rolled down my face as I rad the heart-tugging words...and listened to her belt out the song to your heart....
let me just show you the lyrics right now....
Have you ever fed a lover with just your haNds? Closed your eyes And trusted, just trusted Have you ever Thrown a fist full of glitter in the air? Have you ever looked fear in the face And said I just don’t care It’s only half past the point of No return The tip of the iceberg The sun before the burn The tHunder before lightning The breathe before the phrase Have you ever felt thIs way? Have you ever hated yourSelf for staring at the phone? You’re whole life waiting on the ring to prove you’re noT alone Have you Ever been touched so gently you had to cry? Have you ever inviteD a stranger to come inside? It’s only half past the point of oblivion The hourglass on the table The walk before the run The breathe before the kiss And the fear before the flames Have you ever felt this way? There you are, sitting in the garden Clutching my coffee, Calling me sugar You called me sugar Have you ever wished for an endless night? Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight Have you ever held your breathe and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight
I have a new admiration for Pink....I think she is cool...she doesn't care what people think...she's not your typical "hollywood" girl...she doesn't try to fit into a mold of...and she has a soft side, despite her tough looking "what you see on the outside"....you can feel her heart and that's what people always can connect with...the heart of someone....
I was so loving her performance.....I wanted to recreate her make-up look...this pretty frosty, silvery, look that I thought was sooooo lovely...
I still have to edit it and upload it to youtube....but I really like how it came out.....
take a peek at her performance...until i can get this baby edited and live!!!
AND keep watching for me to post the picture of my short-blonde "Pink-ish" hair... hee hee
enjoy.......I love this!
